Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustrated portrait of a man from the chest up, posed in a formal stance with his body slightly turned to the right and facing the viewer. His facial features include a prominent nose and a stoic expression. He has long, curly hair that cascades over his shoulders. The man wears elaborate attire typical of historical nobility, including a robe with detailed patterns and a large lace collar. There is a star-shaped medallion on his chest. The portrait is enclosed within an ornately designed oval frame featuring a wreath motif, and beneath the frame is a decorative shield adorned with fleur-de-lis symbols and a crown. The background comprises a textured pattern.
